its appearance in the afternoon, in

more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as bell, would feel heavy
and began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was

fer malaria, were first brought to NV
attention. Iknew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed
deemed it my duty to try it, SO began
its use, and its prompt and radical eff.

to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact hat after only a few days use of
kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
ceased altogether; and in a few weeks
from the time | took the first dose I
was cured.
This was about the first of January.
and since then l have experienced no
recurrence OF the malarial symptoms
IN any form. A remedy of such eN-
ceptlonal virtue for the cure of malaria
ought 10 be commended and uriver-

urged It upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom lave used il
with like good results in every case.
and 1t IS with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that commend Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
